Absolutely better. Fresher, unfussy, and sourced locally. Absolutely not dominated by Sysco type processing - blech.
I don’t think you know much about the seafood in Houston or I sense some bias towards Jacksonville here. The remark reducing the seafood in Houston to Sysco processed kinda gives that away. They’re both coastal cities. It’s quite easy to find fresh seafood in both.
The actual correct answer is that the seafood in both is different and that it boils down to preference.
Dunno about seafood. But you could say better water sports and better golfing. Perhaps better proximity to other cities. I'm running out of betters for Jax...

I'm going by what your follow Houstonian PS said, that the large percentage of seafood is sourced similarly. Jax doesn't go that route, at all. Sysco doesn't know what fresh water Blue Crab from the St. Johns River or Rock Shrimp even are, never mind where they come from! And I freely admit to being biased towards Jax, North Florida knows from good seafood!
Florida seafood is bland and meh. Crawfish, shrimp, oysters, etc. all better in Houston, by a country mile. Houston has unique seafood styles as well that Florida in general doesn't.
It's funny that someone from Atlanta is commenting on seafood at all to be honest lol.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about here, and this 'someone from Atlanta' is a Florida native that lived there for half his life. And I will match any and all seafood pound for pound any day - but we do have some things that don't exist in Texas, sorry.

What seafood does Florida have that Texas doesn't? Because Texas definitely has some unique seafood styles that don't exist in Florida.
Guess its just a matter of preference, but for a coastal Gulf state I've never been all that impressed with seafood in Florida. It has a tendency toward the bland. Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina (as well as Texas) all have better imo.
Regardless of preference, the OP will have no problem finding great seafood in Houston.

Well seafood to many in Texas means shrimp, crawfish, catfish and red snappers. They don't really know the Atlantic species. The regional style that they bragged about is actually mostly from Louisiana.

Wait, you dont know Houston seafood but youre adamant about your opinion that Jacksonville has better seafood???
Come on JMatl, youre smarter than that. You know youd have to actually know both specifically to make that conclusion. That's pretty well letting your bias get you emotionally involved in an judgement that you admit you cant make.
Almost all the seafood places I eat at are locally sourced. In my experience Seafood in North Florida is just different. In Galveston, almost EVERYTHING is locally sourced. It boils down to preference.
